I gave the washing machine to the janitor, he sold it to a neighbor, the neighbor asks me to return the money: history

Life story from the "unexpected turns" cycle. I can do without names and surnames, especially since it does not matter. The main thing is the incredible absurdity of the situation itself.

So, after watching videos about how quiet and quiet modern washing machines are, it was decided to change the 12-year-old Ariston unit to something newer.

A new washing machine was brought in, and the old woman who served faithfully was safely presented to the janitor.
The janitor and I are happy with the purchase - each in his own way.

One of the working days I go down from the apartment in the morning, say hello to the concierge and learn from the one that the janitor has safely sold my washing machine to another neighbor and received as much as 3,000 rubles for it.
Well, resourceful, his right.

- My regards, - I jokingly raise my cap, meeting a neighbor on the way from work in the stairwell (it was her janitor who sold my ex).

- Give back my three thousand! - the neighbor cuts off - I gave them to this drunk (to the janitor, obviously), but your machine does not work.

- My car is in my apartment, but you didn’t give any money into my hands - I parry the neighbor.

- Give it back anyway, you still have many - continues the pressure of God's dandelion in a robe.

- Goodbye - turning the key, I end an empty argument.

In the morning, the concierge, in alarmed feelings, shared that the neighbor was going to complain to the district police officer. "Did a good deed " - I thought.

What would you do if I were you?

I look forward to your comments.
